Two week after Ainsley Earhardt’s holiday engagement to Sean Hannity, the Fox & Friends star spilled details about her fiancé’s romantic proposal.

On the show’s Monday, January 6, episode, the 48-year-old opened up about how she spent the holidays, telling her co-hosts, “Not only was I celebrating Christmas with my family and baby Jesus, but Sean Hannity and I were engaged.”

Earhardt admitted that she was totally surprised by the proposal, which took place at the pair’s church in Florida. She also gushed over her 63-year-old husband-to-be, adding, “I respect him so much. I look up to him. We fell in love a few years ago, and it’s been a wonderful ride.” She continued, “He’s so fun and funny and nice and the most generous man I’ve ever met.”

The Fox News stars have been in a long-distance relationship for years and that won’t change now that they’re engaged. Earhardt confirmed that she’s staying in New York to host Fox & Friends, while Hannity will remain in Florida, where he hosts Hannity.

“My daughter loves her school,” the conservative talk show host explained, referring to the child she shares with ex-husband Will Proctor. “I love my community, and obviously I love my job. And Sean is down in Florida and we don’t miss a weekend without each other. So we see each other. We make it work. It’s easy.”

Earhardt and Proctor were married from 2012 to 2019. Prior to that, she was married to Kevin McKinney from 2005 until 2009. Meanwhile, Hannity has two children with his ex-wife, Jill Rhodes, whom he married in 1993 and divorced in 2019 after separating years earlier.

“We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives,” Earhardt and Hannity said in a joint statement on December 26. They also added that their children “couldn’t be happier” for them amid this exciting milestone.
